- GM Dealers Prefer To QUIT Rather Than Sell EVs! The electric vehicle (EV) revolution might be hitting a roadblock, and it's coming from within! In a shocking turn of events, GM dealers are reportedly REFUSING to sell EVs, preferring to QUIT rather than embrace the EV future. Dealers’ Pessimism Toward EVs Has Reached an all-time low! Is this a major setback for GM, or a sign of deeper issues with EV Cars? This video investigates the reasons behind the dealer rebellion and explores the potential impact on the Electric Vehicle market. Will GM find a way to mend fences with its dealers, or is the love affair with gas-powered cars far from over? Watch and see what's sparking outrage... and a potential slowdown in the EVs race!

😊 Hey guys! We created the Chase Car channel to give viewers a broad overview of the upcoming new cars from the top car manufacturers. We are huge fans of pickup trucks of all sizes: compact, mid-size and full-size trucks. So mostly, we will cover new upcoming trucks, but besides that, here you can find a lot of content about new sedans and SUVs too.
The Electric Vehicle wave sooner or later will become huge, so this type of content might appear on this channel from time to time. But as we are still on the way to becoming fully electrical, we mostly cover fossil cars from many amazing brands.

🏆Do You Personally Know Someone Who Owns An EV?🤔
🔴Dealers’ Pessimism Toward EVs Reached an ALL-TIME LOW WATCH HERE 👉ruclips.net/video/sOR7K9bYZj4/видео.html
I personally know 1 person who owns a BEV though I have recently met two people who have one (1 who does under 40 miles/day all up, the other commutes 30 miles each way and charges at both ends) and another with a hybrid who does a long journey every week and a BEV won't cut it because there's no charger up country.
I lived in Oslo, Norway for a while last year, there were EVs everywhere. The Norwegians love their EVs. I traveled to the far north of Norway, Kirkenes, where the temperature is minus 30 for 3 months of the year and there were EVs there as well. EVs are coming to the world folks !
Yes my insurance agent and he loves it
i do indeed, its my 2nd. i really like it.
No. The people I know are smarter than that...or, not wealthy enough to purchase 1
This Mary Barra is to GM as Kathleen Kennedy is to Disney, both needs to be fired.
Nah. She counts as diverse.
Perfect👍
Great comparison!! 👏👏
DEI hire.
But they’re brave and independent woman tho..and that’s more important than anything.
😂
All proved they are WEF puppets 😂😂😂
Woman running car company drives it into ground. Is anyone surprised?
Hhaaa i right
I'll quote Phillip J. Fry when it comes to women running companies into the ground. "I'm shocked!. Shocked!. Well not that shocked."
yea. man running a Japanese car company in to the ground, surprised? no
Look at stelantis
Nope!
I don’t see anybody talking about the ridiculous expensive insurance for EV’S is and to repair is also so expensive.
IF you can find a qualified mechanic. As he said in this video there are vehicles sitting on dealer lots for months waiting for software updates that no one knows how do do and make the vehicle work. Pure EV are decades away from being viable if ever. If the majority of cars on the road are EV it will put a huge strain on all the electric grids. Right now hybrids are the way to go with 50 mpg.
@@elonever.2.071 They are actually a good idea but not the way they are offering them. They should be maintenance free and run forever. They should be slow take off high efficiency, they should be simple and they should not be used in trucks or planes. EVs will work when they are built in proportion to the limitations of their tech.
Tyres wear out three times quicker on EVs, because of the extra weight.
@@elonever.2.071 hate to tell you, but lots of non EVs are also sitting on lots too. some have been there more than a year.
hm, you do realize that all kinds of insurance (not just EVs, but all vehicles premiums are going up and up. some thing about parts going up on all of them, and some labor problems to go with it. some thig to do with a pandemic i gather)
Marry Bara should have been fired years ago.... She burned $35 billion on EVs. She's a Gov't hire...She's a box checked CEO. We just bought a new car. The salesman mentioned the EV... My wife and I said at the same time "NO".... he said and I quote " Tenth time today". Auto MFGs want a huge win... Diesel / Elec Hybrid. Less brake pad wear....HA... EVs are heavier and the rip through breaks and tires... Tire replacements are costing owners out the wazoo
I haven't touched the brake pedal in months. One peddle driving.🎉
EV beat up the streets and will raise taxes.
@@turdfurgason8476Many people who enjoy driving for the sake of it, like myself, would argue that that’s not true driving. I understand that it’s convenient, comfortable and easy, but I’d argue it’s also soulless and boring. You don’t feel connected to the car, and it’s seems more akin to babysitting a computer than actual driving. You couldn’t pay me to own and drive an EV.
Clearly, you’ve never driven an EV or know any EV owners. Most EVs have 90%+ of brakes left after 50,000 miles of driving.
@@michaeletzel4877 You have to be 100% connected to the car to not touch the brakes. You have to know exactly the stopping distance and when to lift the accelerator. It took me months to get it perfect. My wife still can't. With brakes you just press as hard as you need to. I have a Bolt EV.
Dealers will never earn that money back that they have to invest in EV infrastructure.
Imagine how much time they'd have to waste just moving 100+ cars around the lot to keep them charged in the winter
@@karols432 hm, sort of like having to move lots of ICE vehicles around to keep them from freezing in place, or having to replace the gas in them, after they have sat a few months. of more
They don't care one bit when they have the wef funded uniparty politicians that will shake down and fleece taxpayers to make up the difference for their loss and reimburse them back.
Well done to the dealers who gave the finger to worthless EVs!!
Fossfuel dealers make their money from parts and service that ev's req relatively little of.
Bye bye and good ridance to fossfuel everything.
I help a lot of GM dealers acquire used cars and almost all of them I work with want nothing to do with them. Some are doing franchise buybacks. Along with Kia and Ford too. They don't want them because they can't sell em because customers don't want them. GM needs to stop this EV push
Can you imagine what a PITA it must be to keep even 10 EVs on a dealer lot charged at all times?
at this point its not just the EVs that dealers get burned on, cause used ICE vehicles arent selling either
@@user-bp2io3bi5l Yeah, they're selling. EV's are potted plants compared to ICE cars. Course Biden-omics hurts everyone.
GM, Ford & other OEM's weren't pushing EV's. Biden & his corrupt EPA & DOT are bribing the OEM's w/ our tax money. They started the ball rolling. This is all being conciliatory to the WEF, the EU & the UN. FJB!!
Great news get rid of these things like people have done many times over the past 130years .👍👍👍👍👍
You just proved my point, EV owners visited the dealership 4 times, count them 4, and STILL bought them! They are 4 times as dumb!
well i suppose they could be, but they BOUGHT what they wanted, it what the dealer wanted them to buy. market has changed, buyers dont have to pay the dealers huge markups, like market adjustments that are almost the MSRP, if not higher.
I'm just surprised they could remember where the dealers were at 4 times. What do you want to bet it took 9 tries to visit 4 times?
GM, Ford, Chrysler (Stellantis), Mercedes Benz , BMW, KIA /Hyundia all missed the boat by following Joe Biden's team of missteps / misdirection.
FJB
@@markmiller8903
Exactly 💯
I don't think they had a choice.
When you understand who holds the money and what ESG is all about, it all starts to become clear as to why they all fall in line.
Nailed it
THATS WHAT NEEDS TO GO NATIONWIDE,REFUSE TO SELL THESE EV JUNKS,BREAK THEM OF THE HABIT
well i suppose they could just not buy them from GM. course GM doesnt have to sell them them ICE versions as replacements either, they could, but dont have too.
Here’s an Idea .. stop making a million vehicles every year . Cars last longer then they did back in the 60’s-70’s
Also .. get rid of all that stupid tech.
yes; for that, laws need changing; for now GOVs and the hysterical greens are to BLAME for this disgrace
No they don't. Cars in the 60-70 last only a few year before engine or trans needs rebuilding. Grants, cars where cheap and service was cheap as well.
@@steak5599
Did you even read the comment before you got triggered?
@@elonever.2.071 You used "Then" instead of "Than". I thought you meant they last Longer in the 60-70.
I agree, domestic vehicles need to remember what made them successful and their customer base. Keep it simple and affordable.
One day, we’ll hear about the billions that all these politicians invested in battery and electronics companies shortly before making all these EV mandates😂
I run a snowplow in the Winter. That truck as run for 20+ hours straight and I couldn't imagine the nightmare an electric would be. The cold, the resistance of driving in snow, the enormous power needs to run the hydraulics, heat. There is no way any battery could last long. Then there is possibility of damaging the battery driving over a snow bank or plow wash. The contorting of the frame on the heavy loads of pushing wet snow, etc. I would never do snowplowing without a gas/diesel.
You are absolutely right. I did the same before retiring a few years ago. Stay strong, stay warm my friend.
FORGET the batteries totally,they are still dangerous if batteries catch fire.
They. Will always catch fire if one cell goes bad then you get thermal run away and the ev continues to burn until batterie gas is burned and still has potential to start burning again
well, ICE vehicles can catch on fire (after all they are powered by internal combustion, aka explosion), and they can do that without needing to moving either, just parked. and boom they go up!
Batteries also breakdown and begin to hold less charge over the years. Gas tanks store the same amount of energy year after year, and if one needs replacing, it won't cost$20,000.
THE FIRE DEPT. CAN'T PUT THE CAR FIRES OUT EITHER, AND IT TAKES 10 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF WATER ALSO, AND AN HR. LATER THEY RE-IGNITE AGAIN, DUMB IDEA TO START WITH.
I will never buy any EV nothing i have to plug in to run Gas only.!!!!
You will have one at some point. They will get the price down and the range to 800 miles. It will make too much sense.
They are dead simple and reliable. ITs just a matter of time.
@@user-fj8wr8jh4e when that pie in the sky promise happens I'll get one as long as it's cheaper than my petrol (gas) cars - which are so old they're fully depreciated.
I won't hold my breath but at the age of 70 I reckon I'll be long dead before that politician's promise comes true.
@@warringtonminge4167 Haha, yeah but people are living forever these days. My guess, we have about 5-7 years before used Chevy Bolts are $3k or so for a decent one.
Solid state batteries are they key. Don't get me wrong, i love gas cars. My dad was a hotrodder, me, my buddies and cousins all love cars but i do think at some point EV will take over. Once they get the batteries nailed down they will be very efficient. And don't forget, some of the first Taxis in New York in the early 1900s were EVs. They are nothing new.
@@warringtonminge4167 You and me both. I drive diesel. 70 next birthday.
@@user-fj8wr8jh4e EVs been around for over a hundred years and look how good they are NOT!!
I do not think that most people realize that if you are traveling long distances the electricity used to charge your EV (assuming you find a charger) can cost the consumer nearly as much as similar amount of gas per mile. And you have to wait at least 20 minutes to fill up and you hope the charger is not in use. AND here in the cold North your range can be cut by 25 percent so you get to charge up usually less than 200 miles.
My F150 can go over 600 miles on the highway on one tank. And it’s paid for and cheaper to insure and it won’t burn my house down or require lithium from slave labor in China.
This people is why central planning fails.
😎👍
It’s pretty simple really. Until the EV is better AND cheaper it won’t sell.
It will be before the decade is out but it won’t be Ford or GM selling them.
But right now with charging infrastructure lagging for most and without a max range of at least 500 miles worst case scenario. (Hills and cold weather) that time is not today for most of the interior of the USA or for any apartment dwellers.
That CEO of GM looks like the least car enthusiast to head a major car company. Literally a bureaucrat at the head of a brand that gave us the Camaro and Corvette!
And guess what, last year Toyota became the world's top car seller. 😂
Don't get me wrong, I think it has a lot to do with people wanting quality cars, but this EV BS is definitely part of it.
Remember 2 years ago when the fake news was calling toyota "climate deniers" for not falling for the ev scam? 🤣
G.M. = Gone Mad.
We still have not built the 50 nuclear plants.
Missing item (maybe #7): average repair costs for EV's are about double that of combustion cars. Making the insurance prices going up a LOT! Plus waiting times for repairs (is touched upon in the video) also has gone up. Not only because factory doesn't know what the problem is, but ALSO because parts are very hard to get (and if finally available sometimes are crazy expensive).
5x the $$$ 20x the wait to get it fixed... if they just dont scrap the car
My insurance agent told me that if I got an EV expect two and a half increase to your premium. Also they eat tires fast
@@Mattius08 yes the much extra torque is a "beast"!
E V autos are a TERRIBLE INVESTMENT IN COLD CANADIAN CLIMATE I WILL NEVER EVER OWN ONE.. AND I WAS A DIEHARD GM FAN ALL MY LIFE
But why a GM fan?
Toyota may not make many cool cars, but Honda and Nissan have more sporty options.
EVs are not even an investment. More like a heavy paper weight liability to put people in debt
@@Mattius08
It's a lemon for sure 🤣
All cars are not investments. All cars do worse in winter. I have no issue driving electric in a Canadian city. Rural may be a problem though.
@@S.M.214 Rural is a problem even with gas cars. At least when I get range anxiety I can chuck a couple jerry cans in the pickupp and cover it. The thought of heading off in the winter knowing I have to charge somewhere to make my destination and again to get home says forget EVs anywhere the roads aren't paved. Not to mention that in some towns ALL the electricity comes from a big Caterpillar diesel roaring all day and night. Just put the diesel in the truck in the first place. Increase your efficiency and lower emissions
I just perchased a new gas car . I new exactly what I wanted through my own resurch walked into the dealer asked the sailesman how much when it would be in he said 2 weeks he called me told me it was in went in paid for it drove it home. The saelesman did nothing just ordered the car and told me the price . That is the way I have always bought a car. 10 minutes in and out.
Lucky.
I always negotiate the price.
@@elonever.2.071 I did not say I didnt negotiate the price. It was already a fare price so there was no need
Hard to believe. Even when I pay without financing the car it takes me a few hours. It takes longer than buying land !
@@geoffreyevans6133 I guess you dont no how to buy then. Over my life time I have lost count of how many cars trucks I have bought and that is how I have perchased all of them. Maybe I have just been lucky hell if I no maybe Ii have showed up on a week or two that sales have been down i dont no but for me I feel I have always walked away with a fare deal doing business that way.
In the past 5 years we bough north of $150K of brand new vehicles for our family and none of those where EVs nor hybrids.
One of them is a 2019 Buick Envision Premium for my wife and a couple years ago the guys at the Buick dealer sent me an email about trading it in for a new Buick and I responded that since GM was planning on only having EVs , we where not planning on buying GM products anymore.... They didn't responded my email.
We don't hate EVs but we do hate how EVs are coming to us....
It is nothing about the technology capabilities and everything to do with freedom:
The ONLY reason EVs are being thought as a mainstream transportation solution is because a corrupt go vernment that is operating completely out of its scope (defined in the constitution), is working hard to IMPOSE this for the sake of enriching the po liticians so no, we will not buy EVs.
I may buy a $120K diesel truck or a full size SUV with a V8 in it but I'll not buy a Model S or X even if its price is $25K .....
In answer to your question. I do not know anyone that owns an EV. Most of my friends have brains and don't need to massage their egos to prove they think they are helping the environment.
3 people at work with EV's. Only one is happy but he works out of his house. Second just sold hers. Used to gush all over about it. Now the truth is coming out about how she disliked it. Third bought his last year. His finances are so bad that he needs to sell it but it's only worth 50% of what he paid 11 months ago. But hey, he saved $100 a month on gas
If Mary Barra doesn’t want to do her job then BYE Felicia. She can easily be replaced with someone a whole lot better.
GM’s CEO and board of directors have walked ignored their fiduciary duty to the company shareholders. They should be held accountable. Tesla was doing a very reasonable job of moving forward into what was, and remains a very niche market. Now at the urging of a tiny number of activists and politicians the manufacturers who had no depth in this area have jumped into production and flooded a market with inferior vehicles that can’t be sold.
How About The GM Woman CEO ?......How Has She Done ?.......Going Down The Shitter.
Fee...males; more of them in business; faster the bankruptcy; 3, 2, 1 . . .
I wanted an ev....when we had sci-fi level promises then i saw how bad they actually are and that "self-driving" was just an insurance claim waiting to happen, now i own a Toyota and will for the foreseeable future
i'm glad they're all closing
serves them right for making rolling pieces of junk at rip off prices, dishonest dealers, salesmen and service
Feel so sorry for the poor dealers! LOL
Not sorry at all. Since dealerships became consolidated, they've been out to screw both their customers AND their OEMs. It's long past time we got rid of franchised dealerships.
Na, they have swindled their money out of people. They are good to go.
I’m hoping you’re being sarcastic..never ever have sympathy for car dealerships.. I mean stealersships.
They've drained everything they could from the economy and need a new growth market to get more profits, that's why they're trying to force EVs, so everyone has to buy something and their stock goes up.
Also to force planned obsolescence at 40k miles when EVs need a new battery that essentially totals the car
Why do you think they're so anti hybrid? Say what you will about the prius, but they go 700k miles on the original engine with no issues
Well, what you’re not saying is in the winter time electric vehicles don’t work that good when they get too cold
Tragic direction in a legacy company that was a foundational influence in the western world. From innovation in vast numbers of industries including the WWll winning machines from aero to land based and many other technical components, this company was a hive of innovation. It’s lost its way, tragically!
It turns out politicians trying to tell companies what to do never ends well.
"That's what happens when you put a woman in charge."
--- "Q" (John DeLancie), Star Trek Voyager
Barra wanted FULL EV's rather than Hybrids because they're simpler to make bigger profits, it's that simple. If Buick isn't a big seller now, wait till they go all EV.
I prefer to keep my 20 year old gas/petrol car. EV are only any good around town , shopping, school run .
And if it doesn't get too cold outside.
EVs make great golf carts.
At one time the auto manufacturers used to build cars at the people wanted when they started building cars at the government wanted this is the result
There is only one reason needed.
EV's are shit!
Go EV, go broke. NO ONE WANTS THEM. GM can go all EV any time they want and lose their a$$.
EVS must be banned.
Why? Id gladly pay $20K for an EV that got 500 miles range lol.
Because people are dying mining cobalt and lithium. Most of the miners are children making slave wages. Barely enòugh to eat. The mines are owned by china, our greatest enemy. Google joe rogan cobalt and theres a 14 minute video.
@user-fj8wr8jh4e
That's ridiculous!
Because the battery itself costs about 20k to replace, you wind up in a,situation like when a cheap/old vehicle gets into an accident and the insurance usually wants to just total it and buy it.
Now it's like you're stuck without insurance even doing that, having to pay 10,000 to get your car running, while its only worth 4,000.
I work for an electrical panel design shop. A few dealers had us build the power distribution panels for their charging infrastructure. I knew then this was a one-time sale and was hoping the customer didn't cancel their builds. That didn't happen, but there are no follow-up orders. This is a huge expense for dealers!
Another example of DEI versus merit hiring. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
another thing you got to look at if some go wrong with that vehicle how are you gonna be able to afford to get it fixed? If someone hit it you going to have to get rid of it. Even tires are very expensive for electric vehicle. Insurance going to be high.
I was in the business for 30 years and have to tell the truth dealers don’t care about salespeople,they treat them like crap and GM won’t listen to anyone about how to change things. They won’t even listen to Monroe and associates how to cut cost on manufacturing.
No EV for me. Say NO to Joe
Free market...or freefall! Especially when the taxpayer is treated like a captive population and compelled to "bleed out" for the pipedreams of the ruling class.
When something gets woke, that something goes broke.
If I went to a car lot and they tried to sell me an EV I'd leave. Dealers know it, car buyers know it.
The new car dealers near me have lots full of huge overpriced pickup trucks, and EV’s.
Nothing that I want to buy.
At this point, I think people still want cars they can operate and "Drive". My 2nd car is a Hybrid, and the thing is so Automatic-techy-babbled that I can't even open and close the doors when I want. NOBODY wants that high-tech stupidity, and EVs exemplify it.
I knew GM was in trouble when the CEO was filmed at a charging station touting EV’s and appeared to be stumped when she was asked where the electricity to charge EV’s came from.
She literally didn’t know.
We want robust fossil fuel engine and low gas price. Or hybrid with 250km minimum with a solid fossil fuel engine.
Nobody is talking about the problems with the chargers, many don’t work and theft of the copper cables is becoming a big problem.
Hey GM! pump the brakes on electric cars. I'm part of the U.S. buying public, I will never, and I mean never buy an electric car! You are wasting your time, money and energy building them! I don't care what the Government says!
You might want to see the fields of unsold gas powered pickup trucks wasting away in America. OH, but you're in Russia.......or China 😂
The claim that EVs don't need as much maintenance is rubbish. The only thing EVs don't have is engine oil, everything else is the same, brakes, coolant systems, transmission fluids, tyres. A good lawyer should be onto this.
A salesman representing any car brand: "We only sell electric cars."
Me: "I'm outta here. Electric cars are garbage. I'll never buy an electric car."
Look at how well Hertz made out investing in EV's.
Why the heck would a dealer want to add EVs and all the overhead that goes with them ? Sending mechanics to school ( those who would even want to go ), replacing the EV trainees with competent ICE mechanics, and even having to send them to your brand's ICE training classes. Salesmen have to learn how to sell all over again. Mfrs forcing EVs on a dealer by requiring him to buy 4 EVs for every top-seller conventional car he orders.... This economy is already damn tough enough !!
hasn't all the scamanufacturers been lying to all about the prices of the cars, overpricing, and under delivering on there cars, most scamanufacturers are out of control with thier pricing, on average 20-30% higher prices than the previous year, when the normal person might make 3-5% more each year, the scamanufacturers are just doing corporate stealing
I know someone who owned a Chevy Volt, nice little car. They stopped making it. The only electric car that I would consider is a hybrid with a multi-fuel engine generator. Some new high efficency design engine. Something with a fifty mile range battery for most of your trips, maybe smaller.
Everybody gets musked in the end
If you want to upgrade my dealership, then go ahead, spend your own money on it.
One of the local Hyundai dealers told me that Hyundai required around a million dollar investment, for them to sell EV's. No thanks he said...go figure. 😂
GM had the market in hand with the VOLT.
The VOLT was the perfect intermediate car that used battery alone for the first 50 to 80 miles then swtiched to the gas "extender" generator which ran off a 7 gallon gas tank for 300 miles.
This absolutely eliminates any anxiety on the road because you dont charge, you use the Extender.
all the Ev cars with one exception, TESLA, have struggled with the long range and charging. After market charging stations dont work or are not available or only charge at half rate, and that is IF you can get the charge station to accept your charge card.
Pure nonsense if you think you are going to change from a ICE society over to an EV market. Are they nuts?
GM discontinued the golden goose and suffered with the EV BOLT and now they are dropping it too.
Whoever is making decions at GM, Mary Barra, needs to reaccess how she makes decisions in life because she blew that one.
I think I read Rick Hendrick who is one of the largest car dealers in the world said the public does not want EVs. 🤔
The only people who buy ev cars are tech nerds or trendy people who don't know the maintenance that comes with these cars.
dont they sell that model in walmart, its called "power wheels".
I will never buy an EV.
For the money you spend on an Ev ,, That's a house payment
OUTLAW Executives and Board of Directors from owning STOCK in companies they control. CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
So dealers are saying that they don’t want to sell cars that don’t need maintenance and constant repairs. Is that what I heard?
GM EV are one of the biggest pile of garbage ever made
Well the way GM and their dealers are going under in the next three years
$18,000 battery replacement
Dealers also know these things are selling like heaters in summertime!
They (GM) need to stock parts for already sold vehicles. My 2020 Silverado has been @ dealer for 12 months waiting for a 495$ warranty part. The back order song & dance is getting old.
It's not that people don't want EVS! They only want Teslas! Who could blame them? Tesla has the needed charging and infrastructure to support their EVs and not relied on a third party to provide energy that cost double what Tesla's does.
This is why I am 100% GM EV mobile service certified.Mary Barra owes me a couple GM EV service centers.I could do the whole the whole state.
Item not mentioned about dealer repair costs - EVs must be kept some distance away from buildings and from other cars in case of fire.
Davos is a homosexual colony. Who else would advocate electric vehicles.
I would buy an EV but I am retired and dont drive much. Of course, they would have to be max 20 grand with a 10 year full replacement battery warranty
If the big 3 can finally be brought to reality regarding true buying power in this stagflation, that might work.
A man should be in charge
Not Joe Biden, though....
WELL, WELL, WELL---- Mary. Barra screwed up??? I am SCHOCKED, JUST SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!
This is what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket--- and drop the basket!!
All vehicle companies should resist these ridiculous unscientific mandates.
A knowledgeable individual talks about GM and EV and has the face of James D. Farley on the video.
Reduce the price to $20k, increase the range on the battery to 450 miles, build charging centers and cut the time it takes to charge by half, cut the cost of car insurance costs. If you can do this, just maybe sales will increase
will never happen it's physically impossible and they know it 5 fast chargers drain almost a million watts it's insanity the goal is to destroy the car industry and cut freedom of movement worldwide that we become medieval serfs peasants working 7/7 while the "kings" travel in their private jets, they can't stop you from going where you want in an ICE but EVs are all connected and they already have geo blocking and speed limiters even remote disabling your car already in place as a Hyundai owner found
They charge 20K for just the battery. That may be a scam, but it's still an expensive piece of junk.
1) not possible in mineral costs alone.
2) not physically possible due to energy density limits.
3) also not physically possible.
4) Insurance agencies arnt there for charity
Just upgrading the national grid to be able to handle this "electric everything" fantasy would take so much copper it would make your head swim
They can't build the charge points economically. Would you build a gas station if 7/10 times people use their pump at home? It would be cheaper to burn money to power a steam generator to generate electricity to power most of the charge points. It's either feast or famine. Inner city charge points are too few and too busy and charge points outside of cities which there still have to be would get too little business.
No one gives a shit about brand, especially Buick.
Do you really believe the manufacturers are against the buyouts? That's the whole reason for the high dollar investment. The manufacturer WANT to close the dealer network and go direct....just like TESLA.
Nobody but the sheep want what will become a driveway brick, or possibly burn their house down.
I say Mary Barra will retire at the end of the year.
I say that would be good news.
The cart was put ahead of the horse regarding EV’s, they were rushed on the market before all the kinks were worked out, especially not having a sufficient power grid and infrastructure for charging them.
I wanted to buy a Chevy Bolt, the middle trim: retail price a little under $29,000. All three dealers in my area of Westchester County, NY added $5,000 - 17%. They stayed that way through 2023 even though the Bolt had been cancelled and there was no 2024 version. There should be a new version in 2025 ... and other low price EV from competitors. Good luck, GM.
False on less maintenance fluids on EV's. They do need brake fluid changes, Coolant changes & oils for electric motor/transmission units. Cabin air filters & other filters. All this still even without a combustion engine.
The country saw the EV Tesla debacle last February in Chicago. All those frozen Teslas and even the chargers were frozen.
So Mr Green, those Teslas would have been better off flipped over on their tops and lit up.
Then they would have had heat for a week!
